BBC Dateline London

[mtbc]

Last summer I mentioned that I watch the political discussion on BBC News' Dateline London. This morning's was especially good: Jane Hill was moderating Bronwen Maddox (previously of The Times), Thomas Kielinger (Die Welt), Nesrine Malik (The Grauniad) and John Fisher Burns (previously of The New York Times) whom I much like though he seems to bear an inner sadness. Also pleasant were the absences: for instance, not only did we not have a Russian apologist but we also avoided the young right-wing chap who eagerly interrupts.
